[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters, Reporter Yoon Jamin] Gwangju Dongbu Fire Station (Chief Yang Younggyu) announced on the 18th that it conducted a ‘Fire Truck Passage Training’ to ensure the fire brigade’s rapid arrival at disaster sites and to foster a fire prevention atmosphere.

The training took place around Sansu Market and Dong-gu Office area, involving five fire trucks and 20 firefighters, simulating an emergency dispatch situation based on commands.

A representative from Dongbu Fire Station stated, “We hope citizens actively participate in giving way to fire trucks to secure the golden time at various disaster scenes.”

Meanwhile, the methods for ‘giving way to fire trucks’ include ▲ temporarily stopping at the right edge of the road avoiding intersections at crossroads ▲ temporarily stopping at the right edge on one-way streets ▲ on general roads, vehicles in the emergency vehicle’s right lane yield by moving right, and vehicles in the left lane yield by moving left ▲ pedestrians pause briefly at crosswalks when emergency vehicles are approaching.
